A large number of managers, supervisors, and sales staff allegedly terminated for fake fuel transactions

Several site managers, supervisors and salesmen of a leading fuel marketing company have been terminated after they were found involved in a wide network to swindle money by engaging in fake sales transactions to cheat companies and corporate clients, according to senior company officials who recently held a crisis control meeting to alert the staff about fraud.

The pilot version of an automated payment system was introduced in June last year to control fraud by minimising human involvement in payment collection and fuel dispensing.

Ever since the mass installation of the system, about 100 staff members have been terminated after they were found indulging in fraud, company sources revealed.

The crackdown on the alleged nexus of a number of private company drivers and executives, salesmen and managers at petrol stations was detected after a new state-of-the-art fuel dispensing system was introduced recently.

The fake bills were allegedly produced in connivance with managers and salesmen of fuel dispensing stations. Many companies had procured fuel cards to facilitate petrol filling, but company managers and drivers allegedly misused the same facility and made money by showing fake bills without actually filling petrol in corporate vehicles.

No wonder this managers want their own in all the right places so their misdeeds dont get noticed. This must have been one company where someone from above decided to clear all the garbage out top to bottom. This petty mindset of employing relatives and friends is one way to take a organization to the dogs. First comes one then he brings his brother in law Peirrara peiris and then the others and then before you know the enrichment process has started

First one will come in from Kerala (in my experience)then all the cousins and local villagers (from whom they charge)with fake degrees and certificates, get employment. They have no experience and when you interview them on the phone they have a team to answer the questions or 'itchy trigger fingers' to look up the answers. Then they will join the local 'Kerala' mafia which controls everything from HR to other departments (so that jobs are only given to family or keralites) Fake Receipts and invoices are obtained from other keralites in other trades. The company is fleeced left, right and centre, while money is shipped abroad. There are good keralites and I have met smashing ones but the majority will be subservient, but make no mistake. The white guy at the top is too trusting(corporate mindset) and thinks this can never happen and thinks he has got a bargain employing at such cheap rates. The workers have never worked in a corporate company and therefore treat everything with a business mindset. They know that they can be sent home anyday and therefore its better to smile and Fleece. Then again the boss gets his money in a wheelbarrow and thinks about nothing except how lucky he is raking it in while his family members are struggling back home to pay the mortgage.Did I miss anything... Sorry if I upset any groups but thats life.

There was this sweedish logistics company who had lots of this big trailers and trucks running around till they got some of this stupid managers who suggested to do away with the vehicles to save on the running costs, mantainance, etc but their ulterior motive being that they could sub contract vehicles again from other companies, get a commission in the bargain and enrich themselves in the process. This guys were working more for themselves then the organization

Yeah thats what happens when the guys high above allow their stupid managers and bosses to fill the organizations with their brothers in law, extended family members, other relatives, friends and countryman. Looks like a big chain of greedy guys looting the company from within... managers, supervisors, etc.. almost everybody seems involved in the personal enrichment process

Actually i think that could happen anywhere, but i think there are a lot of Petrol station that gives you an electronic pill, or the company itself gives the employees a magnetic card in cooperation with a well-known petrol station and you can use it like A visa card.

That will avoid any cheating.
